Edina, Minnesota, is categorized as a city with Low Diversity, with a strong White Majority. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 83% of the total, above the 75% threshold for Low Diversity. The city's median income of $125,484 in 2022 indicates a high-income area, above the national average. This combination of low racial diversity and high income indicates a predominantly affluent, white suburban community.
Over the past decade, Edina has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. There are signs of a slow transition towards increased diversity. The white population has decreased from 85% in 2013 to 83% in 2022. The Asian population has increased from 6% to 7% over the same period. The population identifying as two or more races has grown from 1% to 4%. These changes suggest a gradual shift towards more diversity, though not enough to change the city's overall categorization.
Edina's median income has grown from $114,060 in 2013 to $125,484 in 2022, an increase of about 10%. This trend indicates continuing affluence in the community, which may influence its demographic composition by attracting high-income residents and potentially limiting economic diversity. The population has grown from 48,585 in 2013 to 53,037 in 2022, an increase of about 9%. This growth, coupled with rising incomes, suggests a desirable living environment that may be attracting new residents while potentially driving up housing costs.
Edina's demographic composition and high median income are not typical of the broader U.S. population. Many urban and suburban areas across the country have been experiencing increased diversity over the past decade, making Edina's relative stability in racial composition unusual.
Based on observed trends, Edina is likely to continue its gradual shift towards increased diversity over the coming years. However, the pace of change suggests that it will remain categorized as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority for the foreseeable future. If current trends continue, we might see a further small decrease in the white population, potentially dropping below 80% in the next 5-10 years; continued growth in the Asian population and those identifying as two or more races; and sustained high median incomes, potentially limiting economic diversity.
While these changes are not dramatic enough to shift Edina into a new category in the near term, they could eventually lead to a transition from Low Diversity to Moderate Diversity if the white population continues to decrease and other racial groups increase their representation. This transition would likely take several more decades at the current rate of change. The city's high income levels and gradual increase in diversity might also lead to it becoming a Transitional Community in terms of socio-economic makeup, potentially attracting more diverse, high-income professionals over time. This could lead to a unique blend of racial diversification within a consistently affluent economic bracket.
